Video: Cop in bunny outfit busts drivers

Officers in West Palm Beach, Fla., have come up with a diabolical new use for a giant bunny costume.

According to the Palm Beach Post, a cop dressed in the costume Wednesday stood in a median with a sign that read “Have a safe, hoppy holiday. Buckle up!” While bemused motorists waved, the costumed officer was secretly radioing others up the street with the license plate numbers of motorists who weren’t wearing seat belts.

“Operation Hippity Hop” snagged 50 seat belt violations in the first two hours alone. Cops didn’t cite the man who tried to give $20 to the bunny, thinking it was a homeless person.

If this catches on, bunnies will be up there with clowns on the evil scale.
